MAKES' ,
o A LASTING CURE
There are certain mineral medicines which will remove the external
symptoms of Contagious Blood Poison, and shut the disease np in the
system for awhile, but when the treatment is left off the disease will surely
return. Then the loathsome symptoms of ulcerated mouth and throat,
copper-colored spots, falling hair, sores and ulcers, etc., are usually worse
because the disease has made rapid progress on the internal members, and
weakened the constitution and general health of the sufferer. S. S. S. is
the only remedy that can be used with perfect safety ia the treatment of
Contagious Blood Poison, and with the assurance that a lasting cure will
result. This medicine, made entirely of roots and herbs of recognized
curative and tonic value, antidotes and destroys the powerful virus of the
disease, and by purifying the blood of every particle of the poison and
enriching and strengthening the circulation, removes every sypmptom of
the trouble. S. S. S. does not hide or cover up the disease in any way, but
drives it entirely out from the blood, leaving not the slightest trace for
future outbreaks. Home treatment book with valuable information and

Idaho Experiment Station Man Write
Concerning It.
By R. E. Hyalop. Aaronomlat, University of Idaho
Agricultural Experiment Station, Moscow..
On account of the numerous in
quiries coming into our station, we
find it necessary to issue this press
bulletin concerning the so-called
'Alaska" wheat.
This wheat, when given ample field
space or conditions favorable to the
individual plant, has a branching head
borne on a rather tough straw at a
height of between four and five feet.
The mesh bears two and three ker
nels. When grown under close -field
cond:tions the head tends to be much
smaller, branches' less, and the mesh
bears from one to two kernels, very
seldom three. If heads grown under
these conditions alone were examined
the impression would be obtained that
this wheat never bears but two ker
nels to the mesh, a mistake which
some writers appear to have made.
The beards, while not numerous,
are dark in color and considerably
stronger than we find on our common
wheats, but not so long or stiff as
those found on the durums or maca
roni wheats. The normal kernel i?
light in color, short and plump, with
an unusually open groove, which al
lows the kernel to be easily broken
in threshing. A cross-section shows
the interior to be white and powdery,
with comparati"e!y little horny starch.
The shrunken kernels naturally are
harder.
Taking everything into considera
tion, I am led to conclude that this
is the Egyptian or Miracle wheat, a
Poulard, and that it belongs to that
variety of the Egyptian known as
Eldorado, which is very closely re
lated to the seven-headed variety.
The Poulards are peculiarly adapted
to dry regions, but never have been
grown to any extent in America.
Their yields have never proved to be
of such a nature as to warrant their
extensive growth, even for stock food.
And the inferiority of the flour pro
duced from them has prevented their
use to any extent for the production
of bread.
The high yields claimed for the
wheat in this section of the country,
in some cases 277 bushels per acre,
are fabulous. One of the promoters
states that from one head of the
wheat- he obtained seven pounds:
from these seven pounds he produced
1545 pounds, or a yield in round num
bers of 220 fold. It is from these
figures that the yields noted in the
various papers, and in the circular of
the Adams-Hobe Seed Grain com
pany, of Juliaetta, Idaho, are com
puted. To show the ridiculousness of
computing yields in this way, we de
termined in a couple of cases, the
number of grains produced from one
seed of Little Club grown under fa
vorable conditions in our breeding
plat. One plant produced 1176; the
other 1800 kernels. Now, reasoning
as this seed company has done, if we
should plant one bushel of thij Little
Club to the acre, we would obtain
1176 or 1S00 bushels. This would be
a rather high yield, even for Idaho.
This year the company had 700
acres in the wheat grown on different
farms in this locality. A thirty-acre
tract near Moscow, which was
threshed in the middle of August,
went about thirty-two bushels per
acre. Mr. Adams stated at that time
that his best yields had been thirty
five bushels. He supplemented this
remark, however, with the statement
that his stands were poor in every
case. But considering the large acre
age, the fact that several different
farmers grew the crop, and the effect
of a close stand, noted above, we must
take this as an indication, at least, of
the yielding power of the wheat. This,
however, would not be considered an
extra large yield for this country.
The analysis of the wheat upon
which the company appears to base
its hopes amounts to practically noth
ing in determining the bread-making
quality of the flour. It is true, that
bluestem wheat, which analyzes higher
in protein than Little Club, makes a
better quality of flour, but it is also
true that macaroni wheat, which an
alyses niK'ier in protein tnan lilue
stem, makes a lower class of flour,
and consequently is discriminated
against by the miller. The low-grade
flours turned out frorrf our mills usu
ally show a higher protein content
than the patent. Corn has consider
able protein, but the chemist seems
unable to find any gluten (that all es
sential part of a good flour). Even
if the chemist had found a high gluten
content in "Alaska" wheat, we would
still not be justified in concluding
that the wheat would make a good
quality of flour. The proof of the
wheat is in the bread it will make,
promised to have a milling test madt
Upon our request the company hai
soon. Until this test is made, how
ever, we must assume that the wheat
will make no better flour under the
name of "Alaska" than it did when
known as "Wheat of Miracle."
In spite of all the beautiful stories
which have been written concerning
the origin of this wheat, regardless of
the many wonderful things which
have been imagined about its quality,
and taking into Consideration the im
pression as to yield, which has so
skillfully been thrown broadcast
throughout the American continent by
this seed company, who advertise their
wheat for sale at $20 per bushel, we
have yet to find any point of merit
In it which would warrant the public
paying more for "Alaska" wheat than
the prevailing market price of out
common varieties.

She was a splendid servant, but she

with her to explain nlxmt the rane.
So that she could Bee how It was op

While still explaining a message cull
ed hlru from the kitchen and he left her
saying, "I guess you will find that it
will work all right now, Martha."
He dldu't see the cook again for four
or five days, then, upon entering the
kitchen, he said, "Well, Martha, how's
that range doing?"
To his utter consternation she re
plied: "Deed, sir, thnt's the best stove 1
